DYK

Hi. I've nominated Long Island serial killer, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. BabbaQ (talk) 14:53, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Long Island serial killer

On 18 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Long Island serial killer, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that an unidentified suspect, dubbed the Long Island serial killer, is believed to have murdered as many as eight people and dumped their bodies along the Ocean Parkway in New York? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

George B. McClellan, Jr.

Hi -- Why did you change McClellan from 96th to 91st, when the List of New York City mayors shows him as 96th? Are you making other changes like this? If so, do you have a consensus to do so? Such changes need to be discussed. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:54, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Yes, I did change it because multiple former mayors had the same numbers. The List of New York City mayors page shows the office term numbers, not the mayor's number. As you can see on the list, Michael_Bloomberg is listed under 113 even though he is the 108th mayor (as can be found on his own wiki and also on nyc.gov under his biography). Rudy Giuliani, which is listed as term 112 on the mayor list, is also referenced 107th mayor on his own page and as 107th on the nyc.gov website. The problem is that, in the past, some NYC mayors served a term and then served again years later. For example, Thomas Willett served in 1665, followed by Thomas Delavall in 1666 and then Thomas Willett again in 1667. And Thomas Willett also served again in 1667 and then even a third time in 1678. All those are given different office term numbers on the list, which is why people have been using wrong numbers. Michael5046 (talk) 03:33, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I found the page I think you used. You are right about him being the 93rd, apparently. So all the other mayors have wrong numbers too. Looking.. Michael5046 (talk) 03:42, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected the mayor numbers for all of them. What I said above was correct, but two non-elected acting mayors were previously counted. Michael5046 (talk) 03:56, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that was the situation. I have corrected the numbering system used in the List article, because using a non-official counting system amounts to original research. I don't think, however, we can take it back farther than consolidation, at least until we find an official city website that numbers the mayors before consoidation -- have you found that? Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:12, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Found it: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcas/html/features/greenbook_mayors.shtml Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:28, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. Michael5046 (talk) 04:44, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've adjusted the numbers for pre-consolidation mayors, so now they're all in line with the city's numbering. I'm not sure why Thomas Hood isn't included in the city's list at all, since they do list the other two acting mayors (but don't number them). Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:48, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, I've removed Hood from the list. From what I've found an 19th-century list accidentally listed Thomas Noell as Thomas Hood, and that list was copied to many other sources. Some later sources then "corrected" the problem by including both names, but I've seen no authoritative sources that show that "Thomas Hood" was every mayor of NYC.

Your contributed article, List of floods by death toll

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, List of floods by death toll. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - List of deadliest floods. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at List of deadliest floods - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Eastlaw ^talk ⁄ _contribs 09:03, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brazzaville Il-76T crash: which airline?

Hi. I read the BNO News source you supplied and its aircraft-disavowing statement attributed to Trans Congo Airlines, but I still have my doubts, caused by this:

"Database confusion By Simon Hradecky on Saturday, Dec 1st 2012 17:05Z

It appears there is one Russian Aircraft database which attributed the aircraft to "Aero Service" (former Aero Service Africo), while other databases correctly have the aircraft with Trans Air Congo (confirmed by Congo's Government). Some other Aviation News Service took up on that database and thus became the root of all identifications of "Aero Service" despite clear statement by Congo's government.

Both operators have their homebases in Pointe Noire.

There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of the aircraft being associated with Aero Service before Nov 30th 2012, while there is plenty of evidence of association with Air Highnesses since 2008 (before Heavylift Congo) and Trans Air Congo since 2011." http://avherald.com/h?article=459df3ac&opt=0

So... can you confirm the validity of your edits by some other source, including airline databases? --Mareklug ^talk 18:47, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I don't know, that was the most recent news report I had at the time. But I went to the Facebook page of Trans Air Congo and it denies they owned the plane: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=391224444296510&id=107380929347531 Michael5046 (talk) 19:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I see aviation-safety has also updated it from Trans Air Congo to Aero Service.Michael5046 (talk) 19:22, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, no, as they have been ascribing the aircraft to Aero Service from the beginning. They removed the question mark from the registration number field and added the one-liner about the reports that the aircraft crashed perhaps on approach from the other end rather than overran 23R. I still cannot locate definitive confirmation one way or the other, and I just don't trust the sourcing that we have so far. So monitor Aviation Herald's page and other sources and be ready to rewrite all of this again. :) --Mareklug ^talk 19:48, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your cut & paste move of 25 July 2013, from List of rail accidents (2010–19) to List of rail accidents (2010–present)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give List of rail accidents (2010–19) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into List of rail accidents (2010–present). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.
